Because they're probably afraid of over-saturating for a small segment of their portable market, I guess. Or maybe Gamestop's the one only doing preorders.

Their small segment of the portable market is gonna stay that way if they continue worrying about over-saturation. They need a product that truly sells the new hotness, and limiting said product is stupid.

The Law of Inverse Quality is making me question: is Gunman Clive really that good for a three dollar game? I mean on the eShop a $3 game is like the equivalent of a F2P game on any other platform.

Gonna sell my xl and I can't be a dick and not include a charger, so I might as well upgrade functionality.

Just buy the official one that is in pretty much every store. It's $10.

Dual layer DVDs only store 8 GBs and the 3DS version is going to have massively reduced texture resolution and sound quality and poo poo so why wouldn't it work

Also no option for Japanese voices so that cuts a good part of the game's data out.

Xenoblade on the Wii took up 6.3 GB. Everything's reduced for the 3DS XL's processors to handle and we've seen 3DS games hover around 4 GB before. It shouldn't be an issue.

That was mentioned by one of the Chinese leakers from the manufacturing plant but I don't think there's ever been a release bigger than 4GB so I don't know if Nintendo's letting anyone go that high.

Downgrading the graphics isn't going to do that much for game size. Cutting the Japanese audio is where most of the size savings are coming from.

Even at the one game that is announced a week into its lifetime (as if Nintendo won't announce more) it's getting more waves than the DSi managed to muster up.

They can do a lot more with the increased power on the nu3ds. Then the dsi's network features exist now.

I'm still skeptical there will be a lot of exclusives. I just hope thru take the time to improve graphics if you have a n3ds.

So I got my coins all squared away, and I need 50 more to get a cool game for cool people. What's a cheap/easy/worthwhile way to get 50 more Club Coins? I've heard Kid Icarus Uprising is pretty good, as is New Super Mario Land 3D or whatever it's called... would either of those still give coins if I bought them on the eShop? I got coins for Super Smash Bros and A Link Between Worlds when I bought them last week. (50 each, 40 for the purchase survey and then 10 for the post-play one)

How dumb is cutting apart the game cart cases to get those little cart holders out and super gluing them to the back of my nu3dsm, My girlfriend shouted at me "What are you doing!?" over and over then ripped the thing out of my hands getting krazy glue everywhere. was it really that bad of an idea?

Hey so Ironfall is actually pretty cool!! I played a bit of single player, and multiplayer, both were fun, although the multi was more action than single player was.

Multiplayer really reminds me of old school Half-Life deathmatch, which is strange because you'd think they'd ape Quake, COD, one of the big ones, but its not nearly as twitchy as Quake, not nearly as one-shot-kill as COD. You spend much more time alive and firing than in either of those games.

The demo lets you play multiplayer on one map only, but its a good example of whats going on.

:siren:ALSO:siren:, they let you play pubbies, or get friends together in the demo, so we should totally get some goon Ironfall going!! i have literally never done anything with friendcodes on 3DS though, so I will leave that task to someone else.

The recommendation is to buy a USB charger, however.

But yes, Bombaiidlo, just get a USB charger and a wall thing.

e: Ironfall is not fun and mostly because using a C-stick nub for camera angles is horrible and rear end.

Well, do you like to play Phoenix Wright games? The gameplay from them is pretty integral. If you don't, then maybe stick with Miracle Mask.

Layton games are really charming puzzle/story games. They are about a professor and his boy sidekick and their adventures. Each has approximately 150 puzzles of various sorts.
